Abstract:

Acetolactate synthase(ALS) has been regarded as an attractive target for fungicide and herbicide discovery. Furthermore, sulfonylurea(SU) as one of the most active ALS inhibitors were used as herbicides in crops protect. In order to discuss the multi-biological activity of SU, two series of novel SU derivatives containing phenyl-substituted pyrimidine moiety were designed, synthesized and their antifungal activity and herbicidal activity were evaluated. The bioassay results indicated that some title compounds showed excellent antifungal activity against Physalospora piricola and Rhizoctonia cerealis in vitro at the dosage of 50 mg/L. Particularly, compound 9f exhibited more than 65% inhibitory activity against five phytopathogens. On the basis of advanced screening test, the EC50 value of compound 8f against P. piricola was 8.63 mg/L, which was a little higher than Chlorothalonil(EC50=7.33 mg/L), the EC50 value of compounds 8k(5.48 mg/L) and 9k(6.09 mg/L) against R. cerealis were similar to Chlorothalonil(EC50=4.26 mg/L). In addtion, the title compounds showed favorable pre-emergence treatment herbicidal activity against Brassica napus and Amaranthus retroflexus at the dosage of 75 g/ha. For example, compounds 8d and 9d showed 86% and 73% inhibition activity respectively against Brassica napus; compound 9h exhibited 100% herbicidal activity against Amaranthus retroflexus, which was better than that of Chlorsulfuron(96%). The results provided useful information for designing new SU with highly fungicidal activity and herbicidal activity.
